Multi Core types mapping with a single field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Greetings,
e are running into a scenario where we get json documents from a third
party website and consume it in our elastic search index for search
purpose. Consider the following mapping example and please excuse brevity
for simplicity:
{
"type1":{
"properties":{
"Value":{"type":"string"}
}
}
}
but now value field is returning string values some times and sometimes it
will return array of values.like:
{
"type1":{
"properties":{
"Value":{
"properties":{
"attrId":{"type":"long"},
"format Value":{"type":"string"}
}
}
}
}
}

Is there any discussion already going on?

If the question is whether you can have the same field appearing on the
index with different types at the same time (e.g. string or object), the
answer is no :slight_smile:
The best solution would be to just use different names.

Hope this helps
